Hi all, my problem is I can't achieve focus with the QHY8 on my 12" newt,......I haven't managed to capture a photon as yet....I ended up getting some Proline spacers to use for the correct spacing with the MPCC for the QHY8......couldn't get focus....
I had a low profile focuser, so I changed it to a normal focuser...hoping that I could get enough back
focus....still not enough.......have tried using a 50mm extension....and
guess what......too much the other way....jockeyed the primary around a
bit....not enough play in the cell for that...
The 50mm extender that I have would probably work ok, but I can't insert the camera and fittings far enough into extension tube....as there is a ridge that prevents this from happening...Does anyone know of a fitting that I could use????.....I have
reached the end of my tether....so to speak....so frustrating......
